“The one thing that the world needs may be the thing that you think of now, but you have to make sure you have the skills and tools…”

As students, you may ask this question every day. As educators, advisors, and parents, you hear this question often. Mathematics is an integral part of the day-to-day work of millions of professionals in STEM fields all over the world. We want students to see how mathematics is used to innovate, measure, plan, and understand solutions to real-world challenges.

At the Charles A. Dana Center and in the Dana Center Mathematics Pathways, we work to ensure that all students are prepared to use mathematical and quantitative reasoning skills to succeed in their careers and personal lives. Creating classrooms where students are motivated to persevere in problem solving prepares them for lifelong success.

Mathematics prepares students to lead. It prepares them to innovate. It prepares them for a changing world.
